+1 Give me the guy that ALREADY PLAYS OLB in a 3-4 (and plays it very well to boot) versus the guy that has to transition from playing DE to OLB. Upshaw is a Lamar Woodley clone in every way. Just give me any of the top tier guys off of 'Bama's D (Upshaw, Kirpatrick, Hightower, Barron, Chapman).

If there is one thing I absolutely cannot stand in regards to evaluating a prospect, it is a 40 yard dash time. When a OLB/DE prospect has to run 40 yards, in a straight line, with some Under Armour tights on, then it may mean something.
